Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court’s summary judgment for Jackson Medical Center and Dr. Hussain, holding that the plaintiff’s expert testimony was conclusory and failed to define the applicable standard of care or establish a proximate causal link to the decedent’s death, thus no genuine issue of material fact existed. The Court emphasized the evidentiary requirements for expert testimony in medical‑malpractice wrongful‑death actions.
